Symposium to try for dialogue
Americans unite
against Viet war
For those readers who felt dis-appointment
after reading the list
of courses offered during interim
last week, there is hope. Besides
the list of primarily departmental
courses there will be available an
interdepartmental course called
Symposium.
Symposium, like the other de-partmental
courses will be worth
three credits and will be evaluated
on a pass/fail basis. Unlike most
of the other courses, however,
there will be no lectures or exams.
The primary content of the course
will be discussion. Seventeen fa-culty
members from various de-partments
will be involved.
The Symposium discussions will
have the format similar to the
book of the same name which will
be used in the course. The book
is a collection of essays and read-ings
on six topics: love, justice,
nature, art, religion, and science.
The text will be used as a catalyst
for discussion rather than a text
as such.
The class will meet en masse
the first day to receive an explana-tion
of the course and decide with
which topics they would like to
involve themselves. Each person
will choose three of the topics and
spend five days on each through-out
the interim session.
The class will be innovative both
in structure and purpose. As far
as structure is concerned, the in-structors
serve as a discussion
guide and will be a fellow search-er.
There will be field trips appro-priate
to the individual topics.
Symposium is based on the prin-ciple
that "the discovery of truth
arises from the heat of debate."
The purpose of the class is to
provide the proper opportunity for
self-expression, self-evaluation, and
an explanation of ideas concerned
with the six topics. The class will
bring together individuals from all
major areas of study and all per-spectives
in an attempt to benefit
from their intergration and ex-change.
According to Professor James
Mason, chairman of the Symposium
Committee, "students and faculty
will all be seeing to find truth in
a certain area of dialogue". The
purpose of the book "will not be
for the material to judge the indi-vidual,
but for the individual to
judge the materials."
Professor Chris Weintz, whose
"brain child" the symposium is,
said that he hoped that students
will approach the course with the
attitude that "I am somebody who
has something worth saying." "The
class," said Weintz, "will provide
the occasion for each person to
represent his beliefs, his convic-tions,
his knowledge. The only
thing he will have to be able to
do is support his ideas."
Incidentally, the word symposium
comes from a Greek word meaning
(in loose interpretation) a drinking
party for "rapping."
The people of the nation joined
Wednesday in probably the most
politically united statement in
some time to protest against the
United States' involvement in Viet-nam.
Nixon seemed determined to
ignore the voice.
In the Twin Cities area national
and state political leaders renounc-ed
previous political stands on
the issue and voiced their protest.
At the Twin Cities' culminating
Moratorium activity Minnesota Sen-ator
Walter Mondale stated that
he had once believed that U.S.
involvement in Vietnam would
lead to a more permanent state
of peace. However, he stated at the
rally in Macalester College's field-house,
"I now admit my mistake
and I think the government of
the United States should do the
same."
The Minnesota senator acknow-ledged
the President's sincere de-sire
for peace, but asked whether
his policy was "to save lives or to
save face."
Also speaking at the Macalester
rally was Georgian legislator Ju-lian
Bond. In speaking of the war
he said, "Everyone knows it is not
being fought to bring freedom to
the Vietnamese people, but to stif-le
a legitimate, home-grown revolu-tion
that is part of the ordinary
urge of every man to control his
destiny."
Appearing as living mosaic fig-ures,
the Everyman Players will
present "The Book of Job" at 8
tonight in the fieldhouse.
The play, which bills itself as
"a triumph of choral drama," uses
King James English and the style
of a Greek chorus to present the
biblical story of Job.
The friends of Job oppose him
in unison, and the women support
him in chorus. The play is a reci-tative
without a score. The voices
speak, moan, chant, whisper, and
groan as the terrible trials of Job
follow the debate between Satan
and God over Job's virtue.
Now on its third national tour,
Attending the evening rally were
6,000 young people — about half
of them from the torchlight parade
that started at the College of St.
Thomas and Hamline University
which was conducted in heavy rain.
During the afternoon, 3,00 Uni-versity
of Minnesota students and
faculty gathered at Coffman Union
to listen to Moratorium speeches
which lasted from 1:30 p.m. to
6 p.m.
Senator Eugene McCarthy in
speaking to assemblies in New Jer-sey
and New York urged Ameri-cans
who opposed involvement in
Vietnam to continue and expand
their "outside the system" efforts
of protest demonstration. "We've
tried politics," said McCarthy,
"we've cooperated for nine or ten
months, and now it's time to try
to influence the administration
through some other kind of pro-cess."
On Bethel's campus students
joined in a day of prayer and con-cern
which began with special
speaker Dr. Heinerman from Park
Avenue Methodist Church during
the regular chapel session. After-wards
students and faculty gather-ed
in small groups to pray. The
afternoon activities included infor-mational
lectures, debates, and dis-cussions
led by various faculty
members.
the company uses costumes de-signed
in the Byzantine style with
wigs, cistumes, gloves, and shoes
giving the appearance of a jeweled
and glass mosaic. No scenery is
used. The mosaic structure and
the stark chorus responses make
producer Cory's point.
The play and its purpose are de-signed
from ancient language and
a 3,000 year old story in the
midst of modern questions about
magnitude in theatrical terms.
Corey believes that in this age
of answers by knowledge, there re-mains
a question which traces an
arch back to God. and his play
is motivated in that way.

Y.E.S. is active,accessible
crisis counselling service
by Marjorie M. Rusche
Y.E.S., Youth Emergency Service,
reflects in its name, its purpose.
The abbreviation "Y.E.S." seems to
emphasize the same.
Y.E.S. is an emergency and re-ferral
telephone service providing
crisis intervention counseling for
kids who need help, and need it
right away. Young people with any
problem are able to receive counsel
from volunteers who have either
undergone similar situations or are
trained to cope with crisis by simp-ly
dialing 338-7588. The service
is available between 10 a.m. and
4 a.m.
Two Bethel students, Linda
Torell and A. Dean Pearson, are
involved with Y.E.S. answering
phones. They are doing it for the
Field Experience in Social Work
course.
According to them, manning the
phones for Y.E.S. is a stimulating
and involving experience. "It's fan-tastic,"
said Pearson, "But it's also
scary. You're answering the one
phone call of a person reaching out
for help, and if you don't help
them, wow." For Linda, it's "get-ting
involved in a lot of areas that
are just fairy tales for a lot of
sheltered people."
Pearson, Torrell, and the other
volunteers receive calls concern-ing
legal, medical, drug and psy-chiatric
problems. They get suicide
calls, calls from parents request-ing
information of run-aways, and
inquiries about temporary housing
and employment. Some people call
just to talk because they are lonely
and need someone to listen or lis-ten
to.
Most calls come from the suburbs.
Kids from the West Bank Univer-sity
area (the Y.E.S. offices are
located on the third floor of the
Extempora Coffee House 623 Cedar
Ave.) don't use the service much.
They generally know where to find
help—in fact, a lot of West Bank
kids help man the phones.
The service was started last May
by the Campus Ministries of the
University and Youth Centers, Inc.
This same group also runs the Ex-tempora
Coffee House.

Dissent seen as Christian
Editor's note: The following is adapted and excerpted from a
speech made by Mulford Q. Sibley, outstanding spokesman on
pacifism, professor of political science at the U. of Minn., when
he visited Bethel's campus fall '68.
The Christian movement itself was born in dissent — dissent, first
of all, from orthodox Judaism and secondly, from political and
social practices of the Roman Empire. Dissent from orthodox Judaism
in the sense that Jesus himself was a critic of almost all the sects that
existed at the same time that he taught. And Jesus stood out against
Hellenistic culture — that is he was against accepting it without criticism.
The early Christians looked upon Jesus as a dissenter from the
orthodox streams of Jewish thought, as a non-violent revolutionary, as
one who thought that there ought to be some kind of radical transforma-tion
of human character and through this radical transformation of
human character a radical transformation of the social order.
How did the early Christians interpret the message of Jesus? And
what were the phenomena connected with the followers of Jesus?
They refused to fight in the army. The leading German historian,
Adolf Harnac, suggested that there were no Christians who entered the
army perhaps prior to the early part of the second century A.D. It
is toward the end of the second century before we find them in large
number in the Roman army. If they were converted to Christianity when
they were in the army, they left the army as soon as they could, because
they did not believe that fighting and killing were compatible with the
Gospel of Christ.
The early interpretation of Christianity was the view that wealth
should be shared somehow. The early Christians were not clear precisely
how it should be shared. In the church in Jerusalem they were to sell all
the goods they had when they joined the Christian communion, turn
the proceeds over to the apostles, and the apostles were to distribute the
proceeds in accordance with need.
What is the spirit of the Gospels for our day with respect to this
issue of dissent? I should argue that the spirit of the Gospel, the spirit
of the New Testament taken as a whole, is that the individual follower
of the Gospels and of the New Testament must be a severe critic of all
the institutions of his day, particularly as they are rooted in an exalta-tion
of property, the quest for property, and the quest for power and
of wealth as ends in themselves.
It is certainly incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus, if you follow
this argument, that Christians exalt wealth — material wealth and
material power. And yet it is all too easy to associate the Gospel of
Christ with the predominant institution of the day — as for the most
part Christians have done since about 350 A.D.
Christianity, from this point of view, is a radical pronouncement,
a radical criticism of the tendency of human institutions to emphasize
wealth and power and property, of institutions which tend to call on
human beings to kill one another — without criticism. Both of these
principles, so exalted by human institutions for the last 1600 years, are
incompatible with the spirit of the New Testament.
The question then emerges, it seems to me, as to what Christians
should do about it. They obviously cannot do anything about it if they
reject the principle that dissent from orthodox institutions may be
essential. What forms should that dissent take, we might ask?
Early Christians did not hesitate to push the principle of dissent
to the extent of civil ditobedience at times. When the Roman emperors
ordered them to sacrifice at the altar of the genius of the emperor, to
put a pinch of incense to the genius or the spirit of the emperor, they
refused — and in refusing, often met death.
Now I suggest that this symbolizes for all of us who work within a
religious framework the kind of question or the kind of attitude that
we must develop with respect to modern institutions. No institutions
are sacred. And this is what the early Christians were protesting against
— the notion that you deify human institutions and human beings.

RACISM AND THE THIRD WORLD
by Tom Ford
Racism is not a uniquely American phenomena. In almost every
nation of the world, at least one race is the target of discrimination.
Added to this is the tremendous amount of religious friction, par-ticularly
between Arab and Jew, Hindu and Moslem, Protestant and
Catholic, Catholic and Bhuddist. All strife is very much a part of the
world situation.
This nation is not an extreme example of White Racism. It in no
way approximates the barbarity of Apartheid. But because of our
world position, America has become a symbol of an ominous threat
to the newly emerging nations of the Third World.
The Third World is that body of newly independent and under-developed
nations of Africa and Asia. These new nations were formed
out of what were formerly European colonies and in bloc cooperation
have effective control of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
They are unified by three major factors. First, they have non-white
majorities and non-white governments.
Second, they comprise one-half of the world's population, and only
one-twentieth of its wealth.
Finally, they are inexperienced and unskilled in the world political
scene and so usually settle on a course of neutralism.
The colonial experience has seldom been a very rewarding one. In
exchange for the restructuring of their society in a European fashion,
colonies have been bled of their available resources and exploited by
profit-seeking merchants.
When the colonial burden has become too much, the native popu-lations
in many colonies have negotiated or fought for independence.
But the transition to nationhood has been a tragedy for many.
The white supremacist attitudes of the European powers has pre-vented
the actual cultural uplift of the people. Western institutions
have been established, the native population has not been trained to
operate within and perpetuate them. Only in the late days of the French
and British Empires were any provisions made for a smooth transition.
Even many of these were "too little, too late."
As a result, more than three-fourths of the new nations of Africa
and Asia have experienced political chaos in their short histories as
nations. Unprepared for nationhood, government has passed into the
educated elite, who have in many cases advanced their own best interests
at the expense of the nation.
Into this scene of internal crises steps the influences of the super-powers.
The rivalry between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is intense: there
are few nations that do not feel the effects of it. The conflict in the
Third World is not only one of economic aid or arms shipments. More
than anything else, it is a fight of words.
Racism in the United States is being equated with Neo-Colonialism.
This raises the spectre of the leeching of the colonial era. We cannot
escape this association. Our dollars and guns cannot buy friendship
when our actions alienate those we are attempting to win.
And so we have become the supreme example of hypocrisy. We
give our dollars to create a bond of friendship with the non-white Third
World. But at the same time we are institutionally sustaining the thesis
of White Supremacy in our own nation. This, more than anything else,
ought to make clear that you can't buy friends.

Published weekly during the academic
year, except during vacation and exami-nation
periods, by the students of Bethel
College, St. Paul, Minn. 55101. Sub-scription

Opinions expressed in the CLARION do
not necessarily reflect the position of the
college or seminary.
To the editor:
(rm not too sure who is editor
this year, so if it's somebody I'm
not acquainted with, I graduated
from Bethel in 1968. Since that
time attended seminary for a year
and after quitting there in June,
I've emigrated to Canada to avoid
the draft. I thought that you might
be interested in an article on how
it is to be a dodger since a number
of seniors will be thinking of this
course in order to avoid the army.)
I've been in Canada now for two
months as a draft dodger. As such,
I am one of 100,000 Americans who
have gone north to avoid the Mil-itary
Establishment. I feel that pro-bably
I have taken the easy way
out. Over 3,000 others, who feel the
came way as I do about the army,
have gone to jail, and work for the
civilizing of their country. About
5,000 others are awaiting trial on
draft charges.
As long as an individual loves
his country and is proud of being
an American, I feel they should
stay in the U. S., go to jail and
work for the civilizing of their
country. They should leave the U.
S. only if they can no longer iden-tify
with it, or if the punishment
for remaining is too great as with
desserters.
This is true because, I have
found, the greatest fear of Canadi-ans
is U.S. colonializing. If some-body
is living in Canada they must
be non-American, which in practi-cal
terms means anti-American
in order to become integrated mem-bers
of their community. Obtaining
this feeling of national identity
usually takes two or three years,
I've been told by those who have
come up earlier, and by native
Canadians.

Co-chairman expounds on theme Saturday social rates success
■
Designed by senior Doug Carlson, the symbol that repre-sents
the Homecoming emphasis portrays man in the cross
in the entanglement of modern technology.
Concurrent with the trend in
1969, the year that the United
States put a man on the moon, the
dehumanization of man and the
Christian's role in this trend, was
chosen as the Homecoming topic.
Betty Creighton, Homecoming
Committee co-chairman, explained
the topic and why it was chosen.
"Due to the increasing produc-tivity
of advanced technology, our
individuality is decreasing. Al-though
for a highly complex so-ciety
to operate efficiently, the
advanced systemization is impera-tive
this same technology seems to
force unique individuals to become
a system of numbers or occupa-tional
categories; a system that is
beginning to operate the people
themselves."
As man becomes entangled in a
maze of mass communication that
determines even his so-called
"needs", he seems to become an
appendage of a vast technological
apparatus.
"Bethel Homecoming 1969 will
explore these views. The Home-coming
symbol conveys three ideas
—man on the left, the cross on the
right, and the regular, modular
edge of technology throughout. To-gether
the three concepts present
the question, 'Does Christianity
have an answer to this dehumani-zing
trend?' "
In response to the need on
Bethel's campus for more social
activity, the Coffee Shop hosted a
social Saturday evening.
The affair, planned by Dave
Waite and Norma Wilcox was rated
a success — the social committee
came out $1.24 in the black while
hoping only to break even. The
money was left over from the 25
cent cover charge.

as numbers.
According to the cast probably
the most exceptional part of the
play is the set. Mounted on rollers,
this $1000 structure looks like a
giant adding machine. The acting
is done on top, inside, in front, and
all around the adding machine,
for, as director professor Steven
Terrell expressed it, "the adding
machine is Mr. Zero's life."
"Everything is a part of this
machine" said one cast member,
"People in the group act like ma-chines.
They are stereotypes in
everything from clothing to man-nerisms".
All the characters are seen as
machines, for this is how Mr. Zero
sees them. He is the only character
we can identify with, said Mr.
Terell, and since this an an ex-pressionistic
play, the audience
sees everything through Mr. Zero's
distorted view of life.

the production early in September,

According to professor Terrell,
the biggest problem which the cast
has faced has been putting togeth-er
the adding machine. Construct-ing
the 12 by 24 by 8 foot high set
was undertaken by John Carlson
and other interested students. Cast
members said that the finished
product will really be an ingenious
structure.
Despite being forced to rehearse
in a building which more than one
cast member found to be unbear-ably
cold, the cast expressed a
great deal of enthusiasm for the
upcoming production of "The Ad-ding

The man behind the Adding Ma-chine
is new — to Bethel anyway.
Steve Terrell, Hollywood actor
turned Bethel director-producer,
had wanted to be an actor almost
from the time he was born in
LaJolla, California. With acting as
his goal he attended Pasadena
Playhouse, received his A.A. in
acting and set out for the road
to Hollywood and fame.
In Hollywood, Terrell moved from
trimming hedges and mowing
lawns to working in stage and
theatre productions, always with
his ambitions being aimed "for
the top at any cost."
Terrell began dating a Baptist
girl, and while he had a dislike
for religion and church, he did
like the girl and went to church
with her to "argue for the sake of
arguing." She took him to a Cam-pus
Crusade meeting where he
met someone who had answers for
all of his arguments. He gave his
life to the Lord, but kept his am-bitions
for himself.
Terrell's big opportunity did
come and he was called to be one
of 500 men to try for the part of
Clarence in the radio-TV series,
"Life with Father". The 500 was
soon cut down to two — Terrell
and the man who got the part.
One week later the new Clarence
was drafted into the army and
Terrell became Clarence, t h e
orange-haired husband on "Life
with Father."
Terrell did that series and many
other roles working with stars such
as Natalie Wood, Rod Cameron,
Faye Ray and others. He was do-ing
a good show, but not good
enough. He was struggling on the
inside with Christ. Everything he
was doing in Hollywood, Terrell
recalls, could have very easily been
put under the title of rationaliza-tion.
The Hollywood Christian Group
that he belonged to for show was
self-centered, no mission, no out-reach
experience for him. In deep
frustration and conviction he ask-ed
God to releave him from a 7
year contract to a major Hollywood
producer.
As Terrell explained it, since
contracts are "signed in blood" a
release without serious repercus-sions
is next to impossible. But
God handles things very well and
I was released with best wishes
from the executive producer," said
the new faculty member.
The next few years were times
of struggle in the Lord as he
sought His leading. Terrell went
from teaching, to theatre, to sel-ling
Bibles, to youth director and
finally, a combination of all four
as he returned to school at Biola
College in California.
After receiving his B.A. from
Biola, he stayed on to teach speech
and drama. He directed the young
people of Biola through theatrical
productions while he 'sold' the
Bible as the Word of God to his
audiences.
"My dream," says Terrell, "is
to someday open a community
theatre, maybe in conjunction with
a college, and to direct and pro-duce
in that theatre clean drama—
drama for the Sunday School, Ro-tary,
and Lions Clubs. In this com-munity
setting I would like to
teach young Christians how to act,
produce, and direct and then I
want to send out troops of actors
to do the plays all around the
globe." Terrell realized a bit of
this dream as he saw his Kings
Players from Biola travel with a
drama production to the Far East.
Terrell is extremely busy at
Bethel these days as he is direct-ing
and producing the homecoming
drama production. The Adding Ma-chine
is a play that shows man in
a mechanized society and the strug-gles
he must go through to orient
himself to this mechanized way of
living.
Comments on the set alone in-dicate
some of the hard work
that is going into this production:
"It's a masterpiece." "Finest set
ever built for a Bethel production."
.. . the work of a creative per-son."
Terrell is counting on the warmth
of the people at Bethel to offset
the cold Minnesota winters.

The truck driver saw my thumb and picked me up. He
surprised me by turning the conversation almost immediately
from his "brand new rig" to student dissent, black rage, big
government, Vietnam and the thousand other ills that the
Sixties have given birth to. He talked sanely, with no noticeable
prejudices, and after he had bemoaned the fact that everything
seemed to be coming apart at the seams, he told me that "who-ever
planned this world, millions of years back, did a fabulous
job of it, because it's all gonna fall apart at the same time, and
there's gonna be nothing left over — no spare pars."
The new "Newsweek" had a feature on the middle class,
the silent majority that is now speaking out, demanding a
hearing. That majority ant its pronouncements do not make
sense — they smack of, "I believe this out of a desperate need
to believe something. Take this away and I drown." The article
is a frightening and bewildering guide to where we are right
now.
"Alice's Restaurant" is a beautiful movie. It pinpoints
precisely the plight of the beautiful people — especially by the
fact that it is a movie without an ending. Alice and Ray are
left with an empty church, and the dream which had come
true for awhile is again unpeopled; the kids have moved on.
There is no ending because there is no answer, just sincere
questions, and no, that is not enough — but it is all there is.
The Bible and Shakespeare and Alice in Wonderland, ap-propriately
pulled out of context and twisted, can be made to
say something about almost anything. This time Alice:
". . . but answer came there none,
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one."
The Walrus and the Carpenter had eaten all the oysters, but
we have eaten all the answers, and now the logical conclusion
of practically everything seems to be that there is a logical
conclusion to absolutely nothing.
I'd like to use this column for the rest of the year (or how-ever
long it takes) to try to evolve an answer. If I come up with
anything valuable, it will only be a new perspective, but I need
that, and maybe you do, too.
I'd like to use some lines from e.e. cummings as a springboard:
"King Christ, the world is all aleak,
and life preservers there are none,
and waves which only He may walk
who dares to call Himself a man."
"Who dares to call himself a man."
Most folks don't eat at the Arden Inn to save money,
But it makes good cents.

"When you are lonely / And
life is making you weary / You can
always go / Downtown."
The Psychology House at Bethel
this year is more than the offices
of two or three teachers and the
temporary abode of two resident-students.
A counselling service has
been established in this house and
a person doesn't even have to be
lonely or weary to make use of it.
"Whatever a student feels is
meaningful to him is potential
material for counselling session,"
says Lee Bajuniemi (pronounced Bi-nee-
mee), Bethel's part-time coun-selor.
He listed such personal prob-lems
as vocational choice, personal
experience and its meaning, family
conflict and room mate problems.
Bajuniemi is a Bethel product
(class of '63) and thus is familiar
with Bethel problems. Since 1963,
he has had experience working with
the Job Corps program in Minnea-polis
and New Jersey and with a
community center in the ghetto
area of Boston. At Bethel, he has
served in the capacity of assistant
Dean of Students (11/2 years) and
instructor in psychology. Next year
he will serve an internship as part
of his Phd requirements.

by Dennis Hopper. Screen-play

(CPS)—One who finds peace pon-dering
the hum of a stereo, the
emptiness of a pointless interrup-tion
or the living, breathing, phan-tasmagoric
quality of trees and
flowers while on drugs, will identi-fy
with the film "Easy Rider."
The marijuana and acid scenes
are among the most honest to be
depicted in a commercially-distri-buted
motion picture. There are
the familiar disoriented, absurd
conversations, fickle mood changes
from paranoia to trust and back
again, dreamy smiles, searching
eyes, and interludes of quiet medi-tation.
The camera work approximates
the vision of one who is stony, fo-cusing
in a peacock frill of blurry
colors upon a solitary object — a
white blossom, the glowing wall of
a cliff, the carved figure of Jesus
on a cross, etc,—then shifting sud-denly
to another object, another
scene.
At one instant, the two main
characters, Peter Fonda and Den-nis
Hopper, are bedding down for
the night in a dark hollow of trees,
This year, after a year's absence
from the Bethel scene, Bajuniemi
is back, and with him the college's
first structured counselling service
is in existence. According to Baju-niemi,
the need for such a service
—that is separate from the Dean
of Students Office as well as ad-ministration
and faculty—had been
felt for quite a while. Last semes-ter's
student and faculty petitions
were a "pretty major factor" in
securing it this school year.
According to Bajuniemi, coun-selling
is not something that is
done to the student by the coun-selor,
but it is two persons working
together to make the best use of
resources available. In Bajuniemi's
case, students' problems are dis-cussed
confidentially. For example,
he does not "tattle." "We would
like to meet...problems and resolve
them rather than having undue
consequences for the students."
Bajuniemi's hours are 4:00-7:00
(Monday and Tuesday) and 11:30-
3:30 (Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday) and any other time by ap-pointment.
He may be contacted by

"Easy Rider" is more, though,
than a mere glorification of the
"big vroom and the narcotic high"
as a reviewer for the Christian
Science Monitor wrote. It has a
message.
If the unforgettable vividness of
the sights and sounds produces in
one a "high" or general feeling
of euphoria, the plot causes a hard
crash, for it first offers exposure
to all that is good about being free
only to leave one's psyche bruised

the end because, man, though it's

you want.

'Easy Rider' portrays freaks' search for freedom
The Column
by Tim Weko
On Peanut Dust and other stuff .. .
Saturday at the football game, Mr. Whitinger and I had a little
chat about relations between the music department and the athletic
department. It seems he took offense at one of the rumors in "The
Column" last week. He pointed out to me the fact that he had personally
only missed five games since he came to Bethel. This is highly com-mendable.
He also pointed out the fact that the band played at all the home
football and basketball games, which is another good point. No athlete
or any other person on campus would deny the importance of a pep
band. Bands have been known to really help teams build up a head of
steam, particularly when coupled with loud cheering from enumerable
fans.
So I would agree that the band is really a necessary part of fan
participation and the athletic department certainly appreciates their
efforts.
To be sure, the teams at Bethel need and want the band to play.
But they don't want any favors from the band, they only want their
wholehearted support.
• * * *
. . . and speaking of the football team, how about that game last
Saturday. I mean, sure, no one will deny that the score was 62-13 and
that there were plenty of mistakes, like thrown interceptions, fumbles
and a leaky pass defense, but the offense did sparkle once or twice, and
they did hold the nation's small college rushing leaders to well under
their 333 yard per game average. That's significant.
And didn't you see some real potential appear just a few times;
enough to let you know that a team of 25 players was going to start
doing some great things — like Huron next week? If there was ever
a really good chance of beating a team, next week should present that
chance.
* * *
. . . and don't forget that Homecoming is, in fact, coming in a
week. Don't forget, also, that Homecoming is only what you make it.
* * * *
. . . and how about the cross country team winning their quandrang-ular.
These guys have finally come into their own.

Last week I neglected to mention last year's Twin City Hockey League
runners up from McGraws. Without their participation the league
would probably never have gotten off the ice.

On a cold, cold Saturday morn-ing,
the Royal's cross country team
pulled off a spectacular victory
with a fine team effort.
Last Saturday, with temperatures
dipping below 45 degrees, Bethel's
harriers held their second home
meet at Como Park against Gusta-vus
Adolphus, Eau Claire State,
Wisconsin and Stout State, Wiscon-sin.
An hour before the race, the
course was dotted with runners
warming up — not only by run-ning
but by wearing gloves, hats
and sweats. There were clouds of
breath hanging in front of their
faces. As the starting time drew
near a few spectators (mostly par-ents,
girl friends and sports edi-tors)
came to cheer the home team
on.

Although Saturday's game with
Jamestown was a crushing 62-13
defeat, there were some bright
spots in the game.
First of all, the offense, which
had scored only 13 points in four
previous games, began to click,
and although the attack sputtered
at times, the team was able to hit
paydirt twice. Dave Pound took
passes from Murray Sitte for touch-downs
in the second and fourth
quarters.
The other hopeful sign was the
aggressive play of the Royal de-fense
against a much bigger and
stronger Jamestown team.
Jamestown received the opening
kickoff and drove 73 yards in six
plays, scoring on a 47 yard pass
from Jay Mauk to John Backhous.
Mauk ran for the conversion and
Jamestown led 8-0. The Royals bat-tled
fiercely for the rest of the
quarter. In the second period
Jamestown ripped the Bethel de-fense
for five more touchdowns.
With about six minutes left in
the half the Royals started their
first scoring drive. On the first play
from scrimmage following John Pe-terson's
kickoff return, Murray Sit-te
hit Don Brondsma with a 35 yard
pass. Barry Anderson took a pitch-

The course was explained to
the runners, who peeled off their
excess regalia; the gun sounded,
and the race for the finish, four
laps and four miles away, began.
For the first lap things were
bunched up, but as the second lap
began, the runners started to string
out. Rich Swanson was among the
four leaders for two and one half
laps with Dwight Carlson and
Mark Anderson not far behind.
Paul Youngquist started moving up
and on the third lap passed all
three of his teammates to take the
fifth position. All four of these
Royal runners ran together, and
that's how they finished.
Dick Dovenberg from Gustavus
won the race in the time of 22:02
followed by two men from Stout,
and an Eau Claire man. Then came
and after an incomplete pass,
Brondsma made another catch for a
first down on the 22.
On the next play, Pound slipped
behind the defense and grabbed his
first pass of the game for a touch-down.
Carl Harfst added the extra
point to close out the first half
scoring at 48-7.
Jamestown scored once in the
third quarter on a quarterback
rollout by Larry Langemo. with
2:28 left in the game, Bethel scored
on the longest scoring play of the
game. Dave Pound snared another
Sitte pass and scampered for a 66
yard touchdown.
Moments later, Jamestown's Dave
Tompkins sprinted 47 yards for a
score, to make the final margin
62-13.
In the closing minutes, Don
Brondsma, had his left arm broken.
He will be out of action for the
remainder of the season. The quin-tet
of Bob Olson, Tom Swanson,
Anderson, Pound and Sitte had
their usual fine game. They were
aided in performances by Perry
Johnson, Dale Berry and Larry
Van Epps.
This Saturday afternoon the Roy-als
battle Huron, each team hoping
to capture its first victory. To say
the least, it should be quite a game.

Carleton made a mountain out of
a molehill. They completely domi-nated
in their soccer game with
Bethel on their home field but
only squeaked by with a 3-2 win.
Carleton started immediately to
show their superior ball control.
Bethel had a hard time getting
the ball anywhere, but they did
manage to feed Peter Arnold Wick-lund
who broke awey and scored
the first goal with only three mi-nutes
gone.
That maybe stunned Carleton and
it seemed that it would only take a
few minutes to score. They did e-ventually.
But it took awhile. Beth-el
played under a different game
plan as they had four men on the
forward line with three halfbacks
and three fullbacks.
Carleton scored a second goal in
the first half when Jon Nordshrom
was screened. Jon made an in-stinctive
dive to the spot where
he expected the ball and almost
came up with it but it trickled
past him.
Carleton's offense was aided to a
large extent by an excellent display
of heading. And even if their pass-ing
wasn't exactly what it should
have been, Bethel just didn't seem
to be where the ball was going.

In the second half, it was Carle-ton
that scored the quick goal. With
a 3-1 lead, they kept the pressure
on and Jon Nordstrom was contin-ually
on his toes. Twice he goppled
up the ball on kicks from five yards
out. Twice he was taken out of the
play with the ball rolling menac-ingly
along the goal line but Denny
Peterson managed to win the race
and clear the ball. Wendahl Wah-lin
played tre whole game at full-back
and continued to improve
with a solid performance. And
Jerry Jenfa looked like a cross
country star that wouldn't quit.
Meanwhile, the Royals were im-proving
on their passing game and
mounting scoring threats quite of-ten.
Their final tally came when
Tim Larson brought the ball down
into the corner and centered to
Dan Andarson. Dan fed it to Lee
Granlund who kicked it right back.
Then Dan let loose with a shot
from an impossible angle. The ball
went past the goalie, hit the far
post, and rolled into the goal.
This game was perhaps the best
soccer exhibition in Bethel history.
Both teams were skillful enough
and the referee had control of the
game so that it did not degenerate
into a modified rugby contest. The
loss was also a valuable learning
experience. Weather permitting,
Bethel will show that they have im-proved.

Symposium to try for dialogue
Americans unite
against Viet war
For those readers who felt dis-appointment
after reading the list
of courses offered during interim
last week, there is hope. Besides
the list of primarily departmental
courses there will be available an
interdepartmental course called
Symposium.
Symposium, like the other de-partmental
courses will be worth
three credits and will be evaluated
on a pass/fail basis. Unlike most
of the other courses, however,
there will be no lectures or exams.
The primary content of the course
will be discussion. Seventeen fa-culty
members from various de-partments
will be involved.
The Symposium discussions will
have the format similar to the
book of the same name which will
be used in the course. The book
is a collection of essays and read-ings
on six topics: love, justice,
nature, art, religion, and science.
The text will be used as a catalyst
for discussion rather than a text
as such.
The class will meet en masse
the first day to receive an explana-tion
of the course and decide with
which topics they would like to
involve themselves. Each person
will choose three of the topics and
spend five days on each through-out
the interim session.
The class will be innovative both
in structure and purpose. As far
as structure is concerned, the in-structors
serve as a discussion
guide and will be a fellow search-er.
There will be field trips appro-priate
to the individual topics.
Symposium is based on the prin-ciple
that "the discovery of truth
arises from the heat of debate."
The purpose of the class is to
provide the proper opportunity for
self-expression, self-evaluation, and
an explanation of ideas concerned
with the six topics. The class will
bring together individuals from all
major areas of study and all per-spectives
in an attempt to benefit
from their intergration and ex-change.
According to Professor James
Mason, chairman of the Symposium
Committee, "students and faculty
will all be seeing to find truth in
a certain area of dialogue". The
purpose of the book "will not be
for the material to judge the indi-vidual,
but for the individual to
judge the materials."
Professor Chris Weintz, whose
"brain child" the symposium is,
said that he hoped that students
will approach the course with the
attitude that "I am somebody who
has something worth saying." "The
class," said Weintz, "will provide
the occasion for each person to
represent his beliefs, his convic-tions,
his knowledge. The only
thing he will have to be able to
do is support his ideas."
Incidentally, the word symposium
comes from a Greek word meaning
(in loose interpretation) a drinking
party for "rapping."
The people of the nation joined
Wednesday in probably the most
politically united statement in
some time to protest against the
United States' involvement in Viet-nam.
Nixon seemed determined to
ignore the voice.
In the Twin Cities area national
and state political leaders renounc-ed
previous political stands on
the issue and voiced their protest.
At the Twin Cities' culminating
Moratorium activity Minnesota Sen-ator
Walter Mondale stated that
he had once believed that U.S.
involvement in Vietnam would
lead to a more permanent state
of peace. However, he stated at the
rally in Macalester College's field-house,
"I now admit my mistake
and I think the government of
the United States should do the
same."
The Minnesota senator acknow-ledged
the President's sincere de-sire
for peace, but asked whether
his policy was "to save lives or to
save face."
Also speaking at the Macalester
rally was Georgian legislator Ju-lian
Bond. In speaking of the war
he said, "Everyone knows it is not
being fought to bring freedom to
the Vietnamese people, but to stif-le
a legitimate, home-grown revolu-tion
that is part of the ordinary
urge of every man to control his
destiny."
Appearing as living mosaic fig-ures,
the Everyman Players will
present "The Book of Job" at 8
tonight in the fieldhouse.
The play, which bills itself as
"a triumph of choral drama," uses
King James English and the style
of a Greek chorus to present the
biblical story of Job.
The friends of Job oppose him
in unison, and the women support
him in chorus. The play is a reci-tative
without a score. The voices
speak, moan, chant, whisper, and
groan as the terrible trials of Job
follow the debate between Satan
and God over Job's virtue.
Now on its third national tour,
Attending the evening rally were
6,000 young people — about half
of them from the torchlight parade
that started at the College of St.
Thomas and Hamline University
which was conducted in heavy rain.
During the afternoon, 3,00 Uni-versity
of Minnesota students and
faculty gathered at Coffman Union
to listen to Moratorium speeches
which lasted from 1:30 p.m. to
6 p.m.
Senator Eugene McCarthy in
speaking to assemblies in New Jer-sey
and New York urged Ameri-cans
who opposed involvement in
Vietnam to continue and expand
their "outside the system" efforts
of protest demonstration. "We've
tried politics," said McCarthy,
"we've cooperated for nine or ten
months, and now it's time to try
to influence the administration
through some other kind of pro-cess."
On Bethel's campus students
joined in a day of prayer and con-cern
which began with special
speaker Dr. Heinerman from Park
Avenue Methodist Church during
the regular chapel session. After-wards
students and faculty gather-ed
in small groups to pray. The
afternoon activities included infor-mational
lectures, debates, and dis-cussions
led by various faculty
members.
the company uses costumes de-signed
in the Byzantine style with
wigs, cistumes, gloves, and shoes
giving the appearance of a jeweled
and glass mosaic. No scenery is
used. The mosaic structure and
the stark chorus responses make
producer Cory's point.
The play and its purpose are de-signed
from ancient language and
a 3,000 year old story in the
midst of modern questions about
magnitude in theatrical terms.
Corey believes that in this age
of answers by knowledge, there re-mains
a question which traces an
arch back to God. and his play
is motivated in that way.

Y.E.S. is active,accessible
crisis counselling service
by Marjorie M. Rusche
Y.E.S., Youth Emergency Service,
reflects in its name, its purpose.
The abbreviation "Y.E.S." seems to
emphasize the same.
Y.E.S. is an emergency and re-ferral
telephone service providing
crisis intervention counseling for
kids who need help, and need it
right away. Young people with any
problem are able to receive counsel
from volunteers who have either
undergone similar situations or are
trained to cope with crisis by simp-ly
dialing 338-7588. The service
is available between 10 a.m. and
4 a.m.
Two Bethel students, Linda
Torell and A. Dean Pearson, are
involved with Y.E.S. answering
phones. They are doing it for the
Field Experience in Social Work
course.
According to them, manning the
phones for Y.E.S. is a stimulating
and involving experience. "It's fan-tastic,"
said Pearson, "But it's also
scary. You're answering the one
phone call of a person reaching out
for help, and if you don't help
them, wow." For Linda, it's "get-ting
involved in a lot of areas that
are just fairy tales for a lot of
sheltered people."
Pearson, Torrell, and the other
volunteers receive calls concern-ing
legal, medical, drug and psy-chiatric
problems. They get suicide
calls, calls from parents request-ing
information of run-aways, and
inquiries about temporary housing
and employment. Some people call
just to talk because they are lonely
and need someone to listen or lis-ten
to.
Most calls come from the suburbs.
Kids from the West Bank Univer-sity
area (the Y.E.S. offices are
located on the third floor of the
Extempora Coffee House 623 Cedar
Ave.) don't use the service much.
They generally know where to find
help—in fact, a lot of West Bank
kids help man the phones.
The service was started last May
by the Campus Ministries of the
University and Youth Centers, Inc.
This same group also runs the Ex-tempora
Coffee House.

Dissent seen as Christian
Editor's note: The following is adapted and excerpted from a
speech made by Mulford Q. Sibley, outstanding spokesman on
pacifism, professor of political science at the U. of Minn., when
he visited Bethel's campus fall '68.
The Christian movement itself was born in dissent — dissent, first
of all, from orthodox Judaism and secondly, from political and
social practices of the Roman Empire. Dissent from orthodox Judaism
in the sense that Jesus himself was a critic of almost all the sects that
existed at the same time that he taught. And Jesus stood out against
Hellenistic culture — that is he was against accepting it without criticism.
The early Christians looked upon Jesus as a dissenter from the
orthodox streams of Jewish thought, as a non-violent revolutionary, as
one who thought that there ought to be some kind of radical transforma-tion
of human character and through this radical transformation of
human character a radical transformation of the social order.
How did the early Christians interpret the message of Jesus? And
what were the phenomena connected with the followers of Jesus?
They refused to fight in the army. The leading German historian,
Adolf Harnac, suggested that there were no Christians who entered the
army perhaps prior to the early part of the second century A.D. It
is toward the end of the second century before we find them in large
number in the Roman army. If they were converted to Christianity when
they were in the army, they left the army as soon as they could, because
they did not believe that fighting and killing were compatible with the
Gospel of Christ.
The early interpretation of Christianity was the view that wealth
should be shared somehow. The early Christians were not clear precisely
how it should be shared. In the church in Jerusalem they were to sell all
the goods they had when they joined the Christian communion, turn
the proceeds over to the apostles, and the apostles were to distribute the
proceeds in accordance with need.
What is the spirit of the Gospels for our day with respect to this
issue of dissent? I should argue that the spirit of the Gospel, the spirit
of the New Testament taken as a whole, is that the individual follower
of the Gospels and of the New Testament must be a severe critic of all
the institutions of his day, particularly as they are rooted in an exalta-tion
of property, the quest for property, and the quest for power and
of wealth as ends in themselves.
It is certainly incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus, if you follow
this argument, that Christians exalt wealth — material wealth and
material power. And yet it is all too easy to associate the Gospel of
Christ with the predominant institution of the day — as for the most
part Christians have done since about 350 A.D.
Christianity, from this point of view, is a radical pronouncement,
a radical criticism of the tendency of human institutions to emphasize
wealth and power and property, of institutions which tend to call on
human beings to kill one another — without criticism. Both of these
principles, so exalted by human institutions for the last 1600 years, are
incompatible with the spirit of the New Testament.
The question then emerges, it seems to me, as to what Christians
should do about it. They obviously cannot do anything about it if they
reject the principle that dissent from orthodox institutions may be
essential. What forms should that dissent take, we might ask?
Early Christians did not hesitate to push the principle of dissent
to the extent of civil ditobedience at times. When the Roman emperors
ordered them to sacrifice at the altar of the genius of the emperor, to
put a pinch of incense to the genius or the spirit of the emperor, they
refused — and in refusing, often met death.
Now I suggest that this symbolizes for all of us who work within a
religious framework the kind of question or the kind of attitude that
we must develop with respect to modern institutions. No institutions
are sacred. And this is what the early Christians were protesting against
— the notion that you deify human institutions and human beings.

RACISM AND THE THIRD WORLD
by Tom Ford
Racism is not a uniquely American phenomena. In almost every
nation of the world, at least one race is the target of discrimination.
Added to this is the tremendous amount of religious friction, par-ticularly
between Arab and Jew, Hindu and Moslem, Protestant and
Catholic, Catholic and Bhuddist. All strife is very much a part of the
world situation.
This nation is not an extreme example of White Racism. It in no
way approximates the barbarity of Apartheid. But because of our
world position, America has become a symbol of an ominous threat
to the newly emerging nations of the Third World.
The Third World is that body of newly independent and under-developed
nations of Africa and Asia. These new nations were formed
out of what were formerly European colonies and in bloc cooperation
have effective control of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
They are unified by three major factors. First, they have non-white
majorities and non-white governments.
Second, they comprise one-half of the world's population, and only
one-twentieth of its wealth.
Finally, they are inexperienced and unskilled in the world political
scene and so usually settle on a course of neutralism.
The colonial experience has seldom been a very rewarding one. In
exchange for the restructuring of their society in a European fashion,
colonies have been bled of their available resources and exploited by
profit-seeking merchants.
When the colonial burden has become too much, the native popu-lations
in many colonies have negotiated or fought for independence.
But the transition to nationhood has been a tragedy for many.
The white supremacist attitudes of the European powers has pre-vented
the actual cultural uplift of the people. Western institutions
have been established, the native population has not been trained to
operate within and perpetuate them. Only in the late days of the French
and British Empires were any provisions made for a smooth transition.
Even many of these were "too little, too late."
As a result, more than three-fourths of the new nations of Africa
and Asia have experienced political chaos in their short histories as
nations. Unprepared for nationhood, government has passed into the
educated elite, who have in many cases advanced their own best interests
at the expense of the nation.
Into this scene of internal crises steps the influences of the super-powers.
The rivalry between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is intense: there
are few nations that do not feel the effects of it. The conflict in the
Third World is not only one of economic aid or arms shipments. More
than anything else, it is a fight of words.
Racism in the United States is being equated with Neo-Colonialism.
This raises the spectre of the leeching of the colonial era. We cannot
escape this association. Our dollars and guns cannot buy friendship
when our actions alienate those we are attempting to win.
And so we have become the supreme example of hypocrisy. We
give our dollars to create a bond of friendship with the non-white Third
World. But at the same time we are institutionally sustaining the thesis
of White Supremacy in our own nation. This, more than anything else,
ought to make clear that you can't buy friends.

Published weekly during the academic
year, except during vacation and exami-nation
periods, by the students of Bethel
College, St. Paul, Minn. 55101. Sub-scription

Opinions expressed in the CLARION do
not necessarily reflect the position of the
college or seminary.
To the editor:
(rm not too sure who is editor
this year, so if it's somebody I'm
not acquainted with, I graduated
from Bethel in 1968. Since that
time attended seminary for a year
and after quitting there in June,
I've emigrated to Canada to avoid
the draft. I thought that you might
be interested in an article on how
it is to be a dodger since a number
of seniors will be thinking of this
course in order to avoid the army.)
I've been in Canada now for two
months as a draft dodger. As such,
I am one of 100,000 Americans who
have gone north to avoid the Mil-itary
Establishment. I feel that pro-bably
I have taken the easy way
out. Over 3,000 others, who feel the
came way as I do about the army,
have gone to jail, and work for the
civilizing of their country. About
5,000 others are awaiting trial on
draft charges.
As long as an individual loves
his country and is proud of being
an American, I feel they should
stay in the U. S., go to jail and
work for the civilizing of their
country. They should leave the U.
S. only if they can no longer iden-tify
with it, or if the punishment
for remaining is too great as with
desserters.
This is true because, I have
found, the greatest fear of Canadi-ans
is U.S. colonializing. If some-body
is living in Canada they must
be non-American, which in practi-cal
terms means anti-American
in order to become integrated mem-bers
of their community. Obtaining
this feeling of national identity
usually takes two or three years,
I've been told by those who have
come up earlier, and by native
Canadians.

Who will be queen? This is the
question currently buzzing through
the cafeteria, dorm rooms, and
school corridors.
Last week the juniors and seniors
were requested to nominate three
girls for Homecoming Court. The

Co-chairman expounds on theme Saturday social rates success
■
Designed by senior Doug Carlson, the symbol that repre-sents
the Homecoming emphasis portrays man in the cross
in the entanglement of modern technology.
Concurrent with the trend in
1969, the year that the United
States put a man on the moon, the
dehumanization of man and the
Christian's role in this trend, was
chosen as the Homecoming topic.
Betty Creighton, Homecoming
Committee co-chairman, explained
the topic and why it was chosen.
"Due to the increasing produc-tivity
of advanced technology, our
individuality is decreasing. Al-though
for a highly complex so-ciety
to operate efficiently, the
advanced systemization is impera-tive
this same technology seems to
force unique individuals to become
a system of numbers or occupa-tional
categories; a system that is
beginning to operate the people
themselves."
As man becomes entangled in a
maze of mass communication that
determines even his so-called
"needs", he seems to become an
appendage of a vast technological
apparatus.
"Bethel Homecoming 1969 will
explore these views. The Home-coming
symbol conveys three ideas
—man on the left, the cross on the
right, and the regular, modular
edge of technology throughout. To-gether
the three concepts present
the question, 'Does Christianity
have an answer to this dehumani-zing
trend?' "
In response to the need on
Bethel's campus for more social
activity, the Coffee Shop hosted a
social Saturday evening.
The affair, planned by Dave
Waite and Norma Wilcox was rated
a success — the social committee
came out $1.24 in the black while
hoping only to break even. The
money was left over from the 25
cent cover charge.

production "The Adding Ma-chine"
by Elmer L. Rice.
The performances, Thursday eve-ning,
October 23 at 7:35 for college
students and Friday evening at 7:00
and 9:45 for the alumni will em-phasize
this year's Homecominng
theme, "The dehumanization of
man in a machine age."
The production's plot centers a-round
Mr. Zero, a "white collar"
slave played by senior Bob Bryant.
He is a typical henpecked husband,
continually heckled by Mrs. Zero,
Laurel Toy. Twenty-five years at
the same ledger desk across from
Daisy played by Faye Kulbitski,
has turned him into a mechanism
to whom "life is one circle of no-thing."
Thus, all characters are
seen not as identities, but merely
as numbers.
According to the cast probably
the most exceptional part of the
play is the set. Mounted on rollers,
this $1000 structure looks like a
giant adding machine. The acting
is done on top, inside, in front, and
all around the adding machine,
for, as director professor Steven
Terrell expressed it, "the adding
machine is Mr. Zero's life."
"Everything is a part of this
machine" said one cast member,
"People in the group act like ma-chines.
They are stereotypes in
everything from clothing to man-nerisms".
All the characters are seen as
machines, for this is how Mr. Zero
sees them. He is the only character
we can identify with, said Mr.
Terell, and since this an an ex-pressionistic
play, the audience
sees everything through Mr. Zero's
distorted view of life.
The cast began rehearsing for

According to professor Terrell,
the biggest problem which the cast
has faced has been putting togeth-er

the 12 by 24 by 8 foot high set

Despite being forced to rehearse
in a building which more than one
cast member found to be unbear-ably
cold, the cast expressed a
great deal of enthusiasm for the

The man behind the Adding Ma-chine
is new — to Bethel anyway.
Steve Terrell, Hollywood actor
turned Bethel director-producer,
had wanted to be an actor almost
from the time he was born in
LaJolla, California. With acting as
his goal he attended Pasadena
Playhouse, received his A.A. in
acting and set out for the road
to Hollywood and fame.
In Hollywood, Terrell moved from
trimming hedges and mowing
lawns to working in stage and
theatre productions, always with
his ambitions being aimed "for
the top at any cost."
Terrell began dating a Baptist
girl, and while he had a dislike
for religion and church, he did
like the girl and went to church
with her to "argue for the sake of
arguing." She took him to a Cam-pus
Crusade meeting where he
met someone who had answers for
all of his arguments. He gave his
life to the Lord, but kept his am-bitions
for himself.
Terrell's big opportunity did
come and he was called to be one
of 500 men to try for the part of
Clarence in the radio-TV series,
"Life with Father". The 500 was
soon cut down to two — Terrell
and the man who got the part.
One week later the new Clarence
was drafted into the army and
Terrell became Clarence, t h e
orange-haired husband on "Life
with Father."
Terrell did that series and many
other roles working with stars such
as Natalie Wood, Rod Cameron,
Faye Ray and others. He was do-ing
a good show, but not good
enough. He was struggling on the
inside with Christ. Everything he
was doing in Hollywood, Terrell
recalls, could have very easily been
put under the title of rationaliza-tion.
The Hollywood Christian Group
that he belonged to for show was
self-centered, no mission, no out-reach
experience for him. In deep
frustration and conviction he ask-ed
God to releave him from a 7
year contract to a major Hollywood
producer.
As Terrell explained it, since
contracts are "signed in blood" a
release without serious repercus-sions
is next to impossible. But
God handles things very well and
I was released with best wishes
from the executive producer," said
the new faculty member.
The next few years were times
of struggle in the Lord as he
sought His leading. Terrell went
from teaching, to theatre, to sel-ling
Bibles, to youth director and
finally, a combination of all four
as he returned to school at Biola
College in California.
After receiving his B.A. from
Biola, he stayed on to teach speech
and drama. He directed the young
people of Biola through theatrical
productions while he 'sold' the
Bible as the Word of God to his
audiences.
"My dream," says Terrell, "is
to someday open a community
theatre, maybe in conjunction with
a college, and to direct and pro-duce
in that theatre clean drama—
drama for the Sunday School, Ro-tary,
and Lions Clubs. In this com-munity
setting I would like to
teach young Christians how to act,
produce, and direct and then I
want to send out troops of actors
to do the plays all around the
globe." Terrell realized a bit of
this dream as he saw his Kings
Players from Biola travel with a
drama production to the Far East.
Terrell is extremely busy at
Bethel these days as he is direct-ing
and producing the homecoming
drama production. The Adding Ma-chine
is a play that shows man in
a mechanized society and the strug-gles
he must go through to orient
himself to this mechanized way of
living.
Comments on the set alone in-dicate
some of the hard work
that is going into this production:
"It's a masterpiece." "Finest set
ever built for a Bethel production."
.. . the work of a creative per-son."
Terrell is counting on the warmth
of the people at Bethel to offset
the cold Minnesota winters.

The truck driver saw my thumb and picked me up. He
surprised me by turning the conversation almost immediately
from his "brand new rig" to student dissent, black rage, big
government, Vietnam and the thousand other ills that the
Sixties have given birth to. He talked sanely, with no noticeable
prejudices, and after he had bemoaned the fact that everything
seemed to be coming apart at the seams, he told me that "who-ever
planned this world, millions of years back, did a fabulous
job of it, because it's all gonna fall apart at the same time, and
there's gonna be nothing left over — no spare pars."
The new "Newsweek" had a feature on the middle class,
the silent majority that is now speaking out, demanding a
hearing. That majority ant its pronouncements do not make
sense — they smack of, "I believe this out of a desperate need
to believe something. Take this away and I drown." The article
is a frightening and bewildering guide to where we are right
now.
"Alice's Restaurant" is a beautiful movie. It pinpoints
precisely the plight of the beautiful people — especially by the
fact that it is a movie without an ending. Alice and Ray are
left with an empty church, and the dream which had come
true for awhile is again unpeopled; the kids have moved on.
There is no ending because there is no answer, just sincere
questions, and no, that is not enough — but it is all there is.
The Bible and Shakespeare and Alice in Wonderland, ap-propriately
pulled out of context and twisted, can be made to
say something about almost anything. This time Alice:
". . . but answer came there none,
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one."
The Walrus and the Carpenter had eaten all the oysters, but
we have eaten all the answers, and now the logical conclusion
of practically everything seems to be that there is a logical
conclusion to absolutely nothing.
I'd like to use this column for the rest of the year (or how-ever
long it takes) to try to evolve an answer. If I come up with
anything valuable, it will only be a new perspective, but I need
that, and maybe you do, too.
I'd like to use some lines from e.e. cummings as a springboard:
"King Christ, the world is all aleak,
and life preservers there are none,
and waves which only He may walk
who dares to call Himself a man."
"Who dares to call himself a man."
Most folks don't eat at the Arden Inn to save money,
But it makes good cents.

"When you are lonely / And
life is making you weary / You can
always go / Downtown."
The Psychology House at Bethel
this year is more than the offices
of two or three teachers and the
temporary abode of two resident-students.
A counselling service has
been established in this house and
a person doesn't even have to be
lonely or weary to make use of it.
"Whatever a student feels is
meaningful to him is potential
material for counselling session,"
says Lee Bajuniemi (pronounced Bi-nee-
mee), Bethel's part-time coun-selor.
He listed such personal prob-lems
as vocational choice, personal
experience and its meaning, family
conflict and room mate problems.
Bajuniemi is a Bethel product
(class of '63) and thus is familiar
with Bethel problems. Since 1963,
he has had experience working with
the Job Corps program in Minnea-polis
and New Jersey and with a
community center in the ghetto
area of Boston. At Bethel, he has
served in the capacity of assistant
Dean of Students (11/2 years) and
instructor in psychology. Next year
he will serve an internship as part
of his Phd requirements.

by Dennis Hopper. Screen-play

(CPS)—One who finds peace pon-dering
the hum of a stereo, the
emptiness of a pointless interrup-tion
or the living, breathing, phan-tasmagoric
quality of trees and
flowers while on drugs, will identi-fy
with the film "Easy Rider."
The marijuana and acid scenes
are among the most honest to be
depicted in a commercially-distri-buted
motion picture. There are
the familiar disoriented, absurd
conversations, fickle mood changes
from paranoia to trust and back
again, dreamy smiles, searching
eyes, and interludes of quiet medi-tation.
The camera work approximates
the vision of one who is stony, fo-cusing
in a peacock frill of blurry
colors upon a solitary object — a
white blossom, the glowing wall of
a cliff, the carved figure of Jesus
on a cross, etc,—then shifting sud-denly
to another object, another
scene.
At one instant, the two main
characters, Peter Fonda and Den-nis
Hopper, are bedding down for
the night in a dark hollow of trees,
This year, after a year's absence
from the Bethel scene, Bajuniemi
is back, and with him the college's
first structured counselling service
is in existence. According to Baju-niemi,
the need for such a service
—that is separate from the Dean
of Students Office as well as ad-ministration
and faculty—had been
felt for quite a while. Last semes-ter's
student and faculty petitions
were a "pretty major factor" in
securing it this school year.
According to Bajuniemi, coun-selling
is not something that is
done to the student by the coun-selor,
but it is two persons working
together to make the best use of
resources available. In Bajuniemi's
case, students' problems are dis-cussed
confidentially. For example,
he does not "tattle." "We would
like to meet...problems and resolve
them rather than having undue
consequences for the students."
Bajuniemi's hours are 4:00-7:00
(Monday and Tuesday) and 11:30-
3:30 (Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday) and any other time by ap-pointment.
He may be contacted by

The music is excellent, with ma-jor

"Easy Rider" is more, though,
than a mere glorification of the
"big vroom and the narcotic high"
as a reviewer for the Christian
Science Monitor wrote. It has a
message.
If the unforgettable vividness of
the sights and sounds produces in
one a "high" or general feeling
of euphoria, the plot causes a hard
crash, for it first offers exposure
to all that is good about being free
only to leave one's psyche bruised

the end because, man, though it's

you want.

'Easy Rider' portrays freaks' search for freedom
The Column
by Tim Weko
On Peanut Dust and other stuff .. .
Saturday at the football game, Mr. Whitinger and I had a little
chat about relations between the music department and the athletic
department. It seems he took offense at one of the rumors in "The
Column" last week. He pointed out to me the fact that he had personally
only missed five games since he came to Bethel. This is highly com-mendable.
He also pointed out the fact that the band played at all the home
football and basketball games, which is another good point. No athlete
or any other person on campus would deny the importance of a pep
band. Bands have been known to really help teams build up a head of
steam, particularly when coupled with loud cheering from enumerable
fans.
So I would agree that the band is really a necessary part of fan
participation and the athletic department certainly appreciates their
efforts.
To be sure, the teams at Bethel need and want the band to play.
But they don't want any favors from the band, they only want their
wholehearted support.
• * * *
. . . and speaking of the football team, how about that game last
Saturday. I mean, sure, no one will deny that the score was 62-13 and
that there were plenty of mistakes, like thrown interceptions, fumbles
and a leaky pass defense, but the offense did sparkle once or twice, and
they did hold the nation's small college rushing leaders to well under
their 333 yard per game average. That's significant.
And didn't you see some real potential appear just a few times;
enough to let you know that a team of 25 players was going to start
doing some great things — like Huron next week? If there was ever
a really good chance of beating a team, next week should present that
chance.
* * *
. . . and don't forget that Homecoming is, in fact, coming in a
week. Don't forget, also, that Homecoming is only what you make it.
* * * *
. . . and how about the cross country team winning their quandrang-ular.
These guys have finally come into their own.

Last week I neglected to mention last year's Twin City Hockey League
runners up from McGraws. Without their participation the league
would probably never have gotten off the ice.

On a cold, cold Saturday morn-ing,
the Royal's cross country team
pulled off a spectacular victory
with a fine team effort.
Last Saturday, with temperatures
dipping below 45 degrees, Bethel's
harriers held their second home
meet at Como Park against Gusta-vus
Adolphus, Eau Claire State,
Wisconsin and Stout State, Wiscon-sin.
An hour before the race, the
course was dotted with runners
warming up — not only by run-ning
but by wearing gloves, hats
and sweats. There were clouds of
breath hanging in front of their
faces. As the starting time drew
near a few spectators (mostly par-ents,
girl friends and sports edi-tors)
came to cheer the home team
on.

Although Saturday's game with
Jamestown was a crushing 62-13
defeat, there were some bright
spots in the game.
First of all, the offense, which
had scored only 13 points in four
previous games, began to click,
and although the attack sputtered
at times, the team was able to hit
paydirt twice. Dave Pound took
passes from Murray Sitte for touch-downs
in the second and fourth
quarters.
The other hopeful sign was the
aggressive play of the Royal de-fense
against a much bigger and
stronger Jamestown team.
Jamestown received the opening
kickoff and drove 73 yards in six
plays, scoring on a 47 yard pass
from Jay Mauk to John Backhous.
Mauk ran for the conversion and
Jamestown led 8-0. The Royals bat-tled
fiercely for the rest of the
quarter. In the second period
Jamestown ripped the Bethel de-fense
for five more touchdowns.
With about six minutes left in
the half the Royals started their
first scoring drive. On the first play
from scrimmage following John Pe-terson's
kickoff return, Murray Sit-te
hit Don Brondsma with a 35 yard
pass. Barry Anderson took a pitch-
Friday, October 17, 1969
The course was explained to
the runners, who peeled off their
excess regalia; the gun sounded,
and the race for the finish, four
laps and four miles away, began.
For the first lap things were
bunched up, but as the second lap
began, the runners started to string
out. Rich Swanson was among the
four leaders for two and one half
laps with Dwight Carlson and
Mark Anderson not far behind.
Paul Youngquist started moving up
and on the third lap passed all
three of his teammates to take the
fifth position. All four of these
Royal runners ran together, and
that's how they finished.
Dick Dovenberg from Gustavus
won the race in the time of 22:02
followed by two men from Stout,
and an Eau Claire man. Then came
and after an incomplete pass,
Brondsma made another catch for a
first down on the 22.
On the next play, Pound slipped
behind the defense and grabbed his
first pass of the game for a touch-down.
Carl Harfst added the extra
point to close out the first half
scoring at 48-7.
Jamestown scored once in the
third quarter on a quarterback
rollout by Larry Langemo. with
2:28 left in the game, Bethel scored
on the longest scoring play of the
game. Dave Pound snared another
Sitte pass and scampered for a 66
yard touchdown.
Moments later, Jamestown's Dave
Tompkins sprinted 47 yards for a
score, to make the final margin
62-13.
In the closing minutes, Don
Brondsma, had his left arm broken.
He will be out of action for the
remainder of the season. The quin-tet
of Bob Olson, Tom Swanson,
Anderson, Pound and Sitte had
their usual fine game. They were
aided in performances by Perry
Johnson, Dale Berry and Larry
Van Epps.
This Saturday afternoon the Roy-als
battle Huron, each team hoping
to capture its first victory. To say
the least, it should be quite a game.

cinch the victory. Tom Mesaros

was followed by Gary Speakman

Although Bethel's first man was
fifth in the race, they won because
of a strong team effort. The Royals
were first with 42 points. Next was

Eau Claire with 54, and finally
Gustavus with 75. This was the
Royals' fourth meet. Their record

Next Saturday the team travels
to St. Cloud to participate in St.
Cloud's ever tough Mid-western In-vitational.
Carleton made a mountain out of
a molehill. They completely domi-nated
in their soccer game with
Bethel on their home field but
only squeaked by with a 3-2 win.
Carleton started immediately to
show their superior ball control.
Bethel had a hard time getting
the ball anywhere, but they did
manage to feed Peter Arnold Wick-lund
who broke awey and scored
the first goal with only three mi-nutes
gone.
That maybe stunned Carleton and
it seemed that it would only take a
few minutes to score. They did e-ventually.
But it took awhile. Beth-el
played under a different game
plan as they had four men on the
forward line with three halfbacks
and three fullbacks.
Carleton scored a second goal in
the first half when Jon Nordshrom
was screened. Jon made an in-stinctive
dive to the spot where
he expected the ball and almost
came up with it but it trickled
past him.
Carleton's offense was aided to a
large extent by an excellent display
of heading. And even if their pass-ing
wasn't exactly what it should
have been, Bethel just didn't seem
to be where the ball was going.

In the second half, it was Carle-ton
that scored the quick goal. With
a 3-1 lead, they kept the pressure
on and Jon Nordstrom was contin-ually
on his toes. Twice he goppled
up the ball on kicks from five yards
out. Twice he was taken out of the
play with the ball rolling menac-ingly
along the goal line but Denny
Peterson managed to win the race
and clear the ball. Wendahl Wah-lin
played tre whole game at full-back
and continued to improve
with a solid performance. And
Jerry Jenfa looked like a cross
country star that wouldn't quit.
Meanwhile, the Royals were im-proving
on their passing game and
mounting scoring threats quite of-ten.
Their final tally came when
Tim Larson brought the ball down
into the corner and centered to
Dan Andarson. Dan fed it to Lee
Granlund who kicked it right back.
Then Dan let loose with a shot
from an impossible angle. The ball
went past the goalie, hit the far
post, and rolled into the goal.
This game was perhaps the best
soccer exhibition in Bethel history.
Both teams were skillful enough
and the referee had control of the
game so that it did not degenerate
into a modified rugby contest. The
loss was also a valuable learning
experience. Weather permitting,
Bethel will show that they have im-proved.
